Possible Causes

Internal backup battery depleted or missing, Firmware bug affecting memory save, Hardware fault in memory chip, Device not completing save cycle before power loss

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No hazardous work is required.

  • Check for firmware updates: Use the Viessmann app to update the thermostat firmware to the latest version.
  • Avoid rapid power cycling: Do not repeatedly switch power on and off; allow the device to shut down gracefully when possible.
  • Reconfigure settings: After a power cut, re‑enter time and schedules and monitor whether they are retained on subsequent short outages.
  • Replace thermostat: If settings are consistently lost, the internal memory or backup power is defective and the thermostat should be replaced.
